Set SuperScale settings for the current project. Args: enabled: Whether SuperScale is enabled quality: SuperScale quality (0=Auto, 1=Better Quality, 2=Smoother)
AI agents use set_superscale_settings_tool to create or update resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your DaVinci Resolve MCP environment.
This tool creates or modifies project configuration settings reversibly. While it affects video rendering output quality, the changes can be undone or adjusted. It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), involve financial transactions (not Financial), or retrieve data (not Read).
From the tool's definition Tool modifies project settings ('Set SuperScale settings for the current project'), specifically enabling/disabling SuperScale and adjusting quality parameters. These are reversible configuration changes to the project state.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access set_superscale_settings_tool gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and DaVinci Resolve MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for set_superscale_settings_tool:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"set_superscale_settings_tool": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "set_superscale_settings_tool_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}set_superscale_settings_tool stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Set SuperScale settings for the current project. Args: enabled: Whether SuperScale is enabled quality: SuperScale quality (0=Auto, 1=Better Quality, 2=Smoother). It is categorised as a Write tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_superscale_settings_tool: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches DaVinci Resolve MCP. Nothing to install.
set_superscale_settings_tool is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_superscale_settings_tool rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_superscale_settings_tool. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
set_superscale_settings_tool is provided by the DaVinci Resolve MCP server (samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
